A loud wooden clank sounded throughout a mostly empty courtyard. It wasn't completely empty though. Four children were playing in the courtyard. One was a pink haired boy wielding a wooden toy sword and clashing against him with a wooden staff was a smiling (H/c) haired boy. The two were young rivals for a very good reason. The pink haired lad known as Gilthunder wished to be like his father and the other young man named (Y/n) of the (L/n) family wanted to grow strong to protect his family. And watching the tussle between the boys were two girls. The elder of the girls watched with a slight smile as she watched the two holy knight apprentices duel each other. Her name was Margaret, the eldest princess of Britannia and she stood with her younger sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth was not as pleased with the duel. Though only of the age of 6 she worried deeply for the two, especially (Y/n). She knew they were only playing, but she didn't want her friend to hurt himself.

Elizabeth:Be careful!

Gilthunder:You should surrender now (Y/n).

You smirked at the pink haired boy as you tried to obtain the upper hand in the mock duel.

(Y/n):I can't do that Gil cause I'm fighting for Lady Elizabeth!

The aforementioned girl blushed and Gilthunder also allowed a smirk to rise to his face.

Gilthunder:Well I'm fighting for Lady Margaret and I won't allow myself to be defeated!

???:So young and already dueling for a girls heart.

Both boys turned their attention to the new voice. There was a blonde man not much taller than them watching the two with a smile resting on his face.

(Y/n):Meliodas when did you arrive?

Gilthunder:Yeah I thought you were on a mission.

Meliodas:The rest of the sins and I returned an hour ago. Just in time for me to watch your little love duel.

Meliodas began wiggling his eyebrows at the two as the slight embarrassment brought a blush to their cheeks.

???: Look what you've done, you turned them scarlet.

Walking up from behind Meliodas was the uncle of Gilthunder. The holy knight Dreyfus.

Dreyfus:You two are too young to be fighting each other over girls. Your duties as holy knights comes first above all else. I know you two want to have fun just don't hurt yourselves alright.

Dreyfus kneeled and ruffled the hair of his nephew. Gilthunder swatted the hand a way, but smiled.

Meliodas: Well lil' Gil and (N/n) have fun. I have to report to your fathers.

Gilthunder and (Y/n):Take us with you!

You noticed that at this statement Dreyfus visibly stiffened and seemed panicked. You went to question him when he stood up quickly resting his hand on Gil's shoulder.

Dreyfus: Gilthunder I just remembered I came here to speak to you. And my ladies I apologize for leaving you out of the conversation.

Dreyfus smiled at the two princesses bowing slightly in apology.

Margret:It is perfectly alright Lord Dreyfus

Dreyfus:I'll escort you two to your father. I trust you won't listen on the conversation with my nephew though.

Elizabeth:Y-Yes sir. Goodbye (Y/n) and Lord Meliodas.

Meliodas:Bye Bye.

(Y/n):We can play later my lady. Goodbye for now. Can we go see my father now?

Meliodas:Sure (N/n) lets meet up with the other sins and then we will report to your father.

You nodded vigorously before following after the Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins.

TimeSkip

Meliodas:Guys come on we have to report in.

???:Do we really have to captain?

???:I just want to nap. That mission was exhausting.

Meliodas: Come we already received a new assignment.

???:Are you serious?!

???:So soon? That's odd.

Melodias:Yep we have to deliver this guy to his father.

Melodias stepped to the side to reveal you to the rest of the sins.

(Y/n):BAN!

Ban:(Y/N)!

You rushed at the sin of greed and slapped your hands together. This turned into a rigorous game of patty cake until you were picked up and cuddled into the cheek of the sin of envy, Diane.

Diane: I missed you (Y/n)!

(Y/n): I missed you too!

Meliodas: Diane we have a mission you know.

Diane: Oh yeah sorry I got carried away.

She gently set you down and the other sins said small assortments of hello or just waved. Trust me that they would usually be way more excited to see you, but the mission obviously took alot out of them.

Meliodas: We can report in and then we can rest for awhile before our next mission.

You followed Meliodas and the other sins as they walked up the stairs of the tower. You never figured out its name so you just called it the tower. So your father and the great holy knight Zaratras would be waiting at the top. After a near murderous journey up the spiraling staircase you walked down a long hallway. Bit by bit a room came into view which seemed to hold your father and Zaratras inside. You couldn't quite explain it, but a feeling of dread grew within you. As you moved closer and closer to the door something screamed inside your head to look away as Melodias gripped the handle of the door and swung it open. You stared into the room at the gruesome sight before you. Your eyes widened as you attempted to scream, but it caught in your throat. You heard Diane gasp along with a few other sins. You couldn't explain why, it seemed your legs just moved on their own as you walked into the dark room. You felt a large hand grasp at your back, most likely Diane attempting to save what innocence you had left. Their before, impaled on multiple spears, was the blood soaked corpse of the great holy knight Zaratras. The first thought that entered your head was How would Gilthunder react? How would he react to his father being murdered? the same with Dreyfus. His brother is dead... how would he take it?

???:(Y-Y-Y/n), m-my son...

You turned horrified to the side to see your father. He was leaning against the stone wall of the room, covered in his own blood. His armor stained a dark black color from his scarlet blood. He was covered in wounds and gashes clutching his weapon in his left hand while his right rested over a deep wound in his abdomen.

(Y/n):F-Father!

You ran towards your father and kneeled at his side.

(Y/n):F-Father who did this? Who did this to you?!

Father:(Y/n) I-I don't have m-much time. I need y-you to do m-m-me a favor.

(Y/n):Don't say that! I can't lose you like I lost mom!

Father:Heh... D-Did I ever tell y-you how much o-of a goddess y-your mother w-was?

(Y/n):Y-You said she was angelic and the k-kindest person y-you'd ever met.

At this point tears poured down your face as you watched your father struggled to breath. He shakily raised his left hand and placed something in your lap. You looked down to see it was his halberd. A weapon bestowed upon the (L/n) by the kings of old. The titanium blade was perfectly warped around a ebony handle with the (L/n) flag placed opposite to the blade so that the enemy knew whose blade struck them down.

Father:I-I guess this falls t-to you my child. It w-won't be much use to m-me where I'm going.

(Y/n):No I can't accept this. T-This is your weapon. I won't take i-it because you're g-gonna live and wield it yourself.

Your Father gave you a closed eyed smile as he weakly raised his hand and ran his fingers through your hair. Your Father was a warm and kind man, but to see him in this state with his cold blood stained touch... was heartbreaking to say the least. Your mother died when you were young. The first memories you were able to remember was of your mother's warm hugs and then all of the sudden that warm feeling was taken away from you. Much like your Father's warmth now.

Father:We both k-know I'm not gonna make it.

(Y/n):W-Who did this to you?! At least let me know that.

Father:It was D-

Your father was cut off as something collided into the tower shaking the foundation.

???:The Sins betrayed the kingdom!

???:They are trying to overthrow the kingdom!

???:We must stop them!

You felt your father's hand grow limp and slide off your head onto your shoulder before falling back into his lap. You quickly turned to him to see he had closed his eyes and had a small smiled on his face.

Father:I l-love you son. Please n-never forget that.

You father exhaled one last time before rigged form went limp. Your father had passed on.

Meliodas: (Y/n)....

Diane: You poor thing...

Merlin: We have bigger things to worry about now.

Diane: Merlin how could you be so cold?!

King: She's not incorrect. If we are to survive we need to escape.

Diane: He just lost his Father!

Meliodas: Sadly it's the truth. We can mourn later, but we need to escape.

You stared silently at your Father's form. You gripped the weapon of the (L/n) clan tightly before using it to support your shaking form to a standing position.

(Y/n): I swear on my life father.... I swear I will avenge your murder!

Someone walked up to you and rested a hand on your shoulder. You turned, expecting it to be Meliodas, but in fact it was Ban.

Ban: I understand you want the death of your father's murderer, but don't let yourself be absorbed by this.

You tried to respond, but another rumble shook the foundation.

Meliodas: Sins this is my last order for now! We must scatter to the wind and regroup later!

You heard everyone agree and turned around. Everyone was gone except Meliodas who had been knocked out. You rushed to assist him, but you felt a sharp pain in your neck.

???:It is not your time yet.

Those were the last words you heard as you collapsed to the ground.

Timeskip.

???:(Y/n)...

You heard someone calling your name in the distance.

???:Lord (Y/n)...

Who ever called you lord?

???:Please..... wake up. Please wake up!

Your eyes slowly slid open as you heard loud sobbing. You found yourself not on a stone floor, rather a soft bed with a plush pillow under your head. Your eyes drifted to your side to see princess Elizabeth crying at your side.

(Y/n):W-Why would you cry for me?

Elizabeth looked up quickly and gave a dazzling smile even though tears filled her eyes.

Elizabeth:You're awake!

You heard the rustle of armor as the door flew open and in the doorway stood Dreyfus and another man you knew as holy knight Hendrickson. They both rushed to your side and following them was Gilthunder and Lady Margret.

Gilthunder:You're ok! I thought those sins had done something to you!

(Y/n):The sins?

Dreyfus:Yes. The the Seven Deadly Sins attempted to overthrow the kingdom a few days ago by murdering Great Holy Knight Zaratras and Diamond Rank Holy Knight (Father/name)(L/n).

(Y/n):No they didn't!

Everyone present flinched at your loud voice.

Margret:What do you mean?

(Y/n):The Sins didn't do anything! They were framed and Zaratras and my father were murdered in cold blood!

Handrickson:Calm down (Y/n). You are still trying to accept your father's death. It's tough o process I know, but we must stay vigilant in these times. The Sins managed to escape and now we have to hunt them down and avenged the kingdom.

(Y/n):Where's my father's weapon?

Dreyfus walked to a corner of a gripped the weapon before walking somberly over to the bed, resting it at your side.

Dreyfus:I have news that may be hard to hear as well.

(Y/n):Tell me...

Dreyfus:With the passing of your late father that makes you the head of the (L/n):

(Y/n):W-What?! I can't be the head! Don't I have a cousin or something that takes that position.

Dreyfus:Any other possible relatives are unable to be reached or have obligations elsewhere. And your father left no will so we can only assume that in his death you would follow as the head of the family. I'm deeply sorry (Y/n).

Elizabeth:I'm so sorry (Y/n).

(Y/n);You have nothing to worry about princess. It's not your fault in the slightest.

???:I can't imagine how you feel my boy.

A thunderous voice entered the room as everyone turned to the door. There stood the king himself. Everyone bowed or curtsied except for you as you were bed ridden obviously.

King Bartra:Your father was a good man of exceptional skill and the kingdom has been dealt a serious blow. I hope you are ok-

The king coughed into his clenched fist as his daughters rushed to his side.

Elizabeth:Father!

Margaret:Are you ill?

King Bartra:It's ok it is just a simple cough, nothing to worry over my dears. Now I entered this room with a point.

Dreyfus:Your majesty is it more orders for the manhunt?

King Bartra:Without your father to guide you I have called in someone who will teach you from here on out. Once you have recovered of course.

Hendrickson:We could handle the manner in which (Y/n) is taught your majesty.

King Bartra:It is quite alright Hendrickson I have already selected (Y/n)'s teacher.

(Y/n):Not to be rude your majesty, but do I get a say in this?

King Bartra:I'm afraid we don't have many knights to spare at the moment I'm afraid.

Gilthunder:Your majesty who is (Y/n)'s teacher?

King Barta breathed in deeply closing his eyes, as if this was a last second decision of his.

King Bartra:Once you recover you will be taught by the Roars of Dawn.

Dreyfus:My lord you can't be serious!

King Bartra:I know of their reputation, but they are the only knights I can spare.

Dreyfus:Let us teach him! We were gaurdians of him and close friends with his father!

King Bartra:Ignoring your borderline insubordinate tone Dreyfus, I need you and Hendrickson to find the Sins. The Roars of Dawn have no assignments as of now and are a perfectly capable team.

Elizabeth:The Roars of Dawn?

King Bartra:Don't worry about them for now darling. I think we should give the boy his rest.

The room grew silent, except for the soft sound of footsteps leaving the room. The door closed and you were left to your own thoughts. Memories flooded back as you remembered your oath you swore.

(Y/n):I will avenge you father. I won't rest until your murderer joins you in the afterlife where you can take vengeance of your own.

You took one last breath as the adrenaline from your outburst wore off and you drifted back inot sleep.

(A/n):Hey guys hope you enjoyed this story! Tell me how I did pls and I wan't to let you know something. This is going to be my pet project. I;m not saying I won't work on my other stories, but like with Soul Eater I'm gonna give a lot of love to this story. Welp that's all folks and as always bye bye!
